Not to be abused!,
By
This review is from: Alli Weight Loss Capsules - 84 Capsules (Personal Care)
After reading hundreds of mixed reviews on alli I decided to give it a go. My BMI was dead on 28 which made me suitable for alli. I was expecting mad rushes to the loo and a risk of incontinence! I followed the guidelines for each meal, sticking to my fat allowance. I had to look up the fat content on everything I ate! Boy I did not realise how much fat I was consuming before alli! This is one of the reasons why I would recommend alli, it re-educates your mind and makes you aware of what you're eating. I have had no side effects what so ever, one of my friends is a pharmacist which is great! He said if you consume a mcdonalds containing 80g of fat, your body will expell 20g of fat. (serious rush to the loo) However if you consume the recommended 15-20g of fat you will only expell 5g of fat, normal stroll to the loo! I am delighted with the results, in a week I have lost 2 inches around my waiste and 5lb of fat. Great result! You must take a multi vitamin before going to bed, as vitamins are fat soluble and will pass through the body, which may leave you vitamin defficient. So take good quality vitamins especially a,c,d and e. Drink 8 glasses of water and your on your way. If you know you are going to go out for a fatty meal DO NOT TAKE THE TABLET, as you may have a very embarrassing experience! Good Luck!

It worked for me...,

As a man who was at least four stone overweight but without the necessary will power to `go it alone' as it were, Alli seemed like something worth trying.
Having read and listened to many of the reviews about Alli, all of which referenced the gory side effects, it was with trepidation that I decided to start a course of the drug. Following all of the rules... ...I began cutting down on fatty foods about a week before taking Alli. Then, anxious about the possibility of over-staying my welcome in the bathroom, I decided to eat more healthily more of the time without being obsessive about it. Cereal for breakfast, one or two Special K chocolate chip bars throughout the day if I felt hungry (these taste fine but are not so delicious that you want to eat a whole pack) and salad of my own making at lunchtime - tuna, egg, cottage cheese, lettuce...that sort of thing. For my evening meal, I sought out low-fat ready-meals. I'm not a ready-meal fan but in the short-term the Heinz Weight Watchers range has proven quite tasty (relatively speaking) and there's enough variety to keep me interested throughout the week. Importantly, they have allowed me greater control over my fat intake. So far as alcohol is concerned, I like it, especially wine...so I still drink wine, mostly sensibly, sometimes not. The final analysis... No noticeable side-effects. Over the last month, I have lost an average of three pounds a week and people are starting to notice. The threat of long spells in the bathroom is a great motivator not to maintain a diet of steaks and Big Macs although I have enjoyed a Chicken Sandwich and fries a couple of times in the last month...just because I felt like it. Once the weight starts to drop off, the slight change of pace and life-style actually becomes fun and regular exercise - 35 minutes walk three or four times a week - can be very pleasant especially now that the weather has improved. If you're looking to make a decision about Alli, my advice would be if it doesn't break the bank, if you're able to make a few simple and not so painful changes to your diet without obsessing about it and if you're prepared to honour the tablets usefulness by taking a little exercise, give it a go.

Not a miracle... but certainly helps,

This review is from: Alli Weight Loss Capsules - 84 Capsules (Personal Care)
After surgery on my ankle a few years ago I slowly gained about 2 and a half stone in weight. Being only 5 ft 4inches in height it was more than noticeable. I felt and looked awful. I was eating all the wrong things for comfort really and the result was a poor diet and no energy.
I decided to start taking Alli just to see if it could help me to break the cycle of eating badly and then feeling dreadful. I had to re educate myself to be more aware of what I ate, not only to look good but to improve my health and state of mind. I stopped eating junk food, cakes, crisps biscuits immediately and switched to a low fat diet. More fresh fruit and vegetables and no snacking on high sugar/fatty food between meals. I began to feel so much better and actually looked forward to eating something good and wholesome! I read a lot of reviews before taking the pills and was horrified at some of the consequences of eating fat. Drastic dashing to the loo and the fear of being caught short made it easier for me not to eat badly. The pills come with 3 little booklets with a lot of good information about what to eat and what not to eat and the reality of how much fat we actually consume is quite frightening as it all has to come out in the end! I suppose my advice would be certainly to plan your meals in advance and stick to the guidelines of exactly how much fat you are allowed to consume. I would also strongly suggest in the evening after you have had your last meal and pill to try and do a poo before you go to bed! Also buy some loo cleaner and leave it by the loo as the fat you pass out has a tendency not to flush away immediately. Sorry if it sounds disgusting but don't be put off. The best thing we can all do is to re educate ourselves and change our eating habits. Alli will help you but you also have to help yourself. Good luck!
